dynamic graph list

[nb71]

Hi,
Thanks for a great dashboard!

It would be very nice to have something similar to dynamic parameters but for whole graphs.
Something like:
"data-dynamic":
{
"title": "${host) LOAD",
"target": "cactiStyle(servers.${host}.loadavg.05,4,"si")",
"parameters": {
"host": {
"type": "dynamic",
"query":"servers.*"
}
}
}
To get a dashboard with a graph for each host, containing load average.

Thanks.

Graphitus is designed around selection/consolidation rather than explosion (meaning you view multiple hosts on the same graph and can filter by host). @rantav requested something similar and I offered to add an "explode" button next to each drop down which will show a modal window with multiple graphs showing all value permutations of that selection side-by-side. Will this meet your needs?

@erezmazor what I actually wish for is to be able to see the "exploded" view but not by clicking a button, but as a default view, when opening the page. An Explode button is definitely a step forward though, but not exactly what I had in mind. Think of it as iterating over a list of graphs and displaying them at the page.

+1 from me for this. This would make it easy to have a list of graphs with data without having to specify every single graph. We have that situation a lot for >50 graphs often.

I also have a usecase for that.
My Metrics are in the follwoing format:
server.threadpool.*.{max,active,count}

Now I want a graph for each thead pool name that contains the 3 metrics max active and count.

You can try the branch of my fork https://github.com/mathias-baumann-sociomantic/graphitus/tree/generate-graphs
I'll keep it up-to-date with master as we are using this internally already.

Glad for any feedback you give.
